@mark2650 actually, it was Fweep who split his keel. Bobo got the scar from falling off her toy. we even have a video of her slipping off a toy, but thankfully, that one was low down enough that she didn't get hurt that time. now that she is fully flighted, she is much more agile, and doesn't get hurt.
the myth that greys are clutsy comes from them being clipped.
i'm not insisting that you don't clip--but i hope you are training. an accidental fly-off without control is his greatest danger.

@mark2650 the info is unfortunately wrong, as so many have discovered the hard way. clipping is a no-win.
if clipped enough to prevent any kind of flight, it's dangerous for the bird, as they will fall and get hurt.
if they are clipped to glide or do small flights indoors, then the biggest danger--fly-offs--takes only an open door or window and a little gust of wind...and then with partially clipped wings, they have no control...they will get themselves up high, but be too scared to fly down.

That's very sad about Bobo. Curtis is 'clipped', but can still fly from one end of the house to the other - easily in fact - for a head scratch or food. He can steer while flying and seems to enjoy it. I understand there are pros - cons both ways regarding wing clipping, but for now, I've made the decision to clip. Glad to hear your Bobo is doing well. One of these days I'll post a new video with Curtis. He's yacking at me right now. Regards!
